Harsh enviroments are no match

Oil and gas exploration and drilling processes are completed in some of the harshest conditions. Machinery must withstand water, clay, proppant and chemicals, including acid. Parts must be durable and sharp enough to drill and cut through rock and stone at deep depths. Painting and plating the steel isn’t enough: surface treatments can flake off when abraded by proppant, drilling mud or acidic fluids like fracking fluids.
